Technical drawing standards were introduced 60 years ago, and Canada uses the CSA CAN-B78 standard, similar to ISO and ANSI. Orthographic views show all necessary views to scale using 3rd angle projection. Enlarged detail views show small details enlarged, while sectional views show cutting planes. General arrangement drawings communicate early design intent with different views and a bill of materials, later evolving into an assembly drawing with part drawings specifying each part.

This document outlines the course objectives, delivery, and expectations for a digital prototyping and simulations course. The course objectives are to study digital prototyping and virtual simulation elements, learn to use various platforms to create digital assets, and develop skills for collaborative teamwork. The course will be delivered through weekly Monday lectures from 6-9pm Eastern Time in room 624 Southam Hall, with in-person attendance required but Zoom available if needed. Slides will be posted online after each class. Students will complete labs, participate in class, and collaborate on a final take-home exam project applying skills from the course. Suggested software, resources, and example content are also provided.
1) The document discusses topics related to intelligence, automation, artificial intelligence, and their relationships. It provides definitions of key concepts and links to related videos.
2) Daniel Dennett's perspective on intelligence is summarized, focusing on the idea that the human mind operates like a democracy rather than a systematic hierarchy.
3) The document presents debates between those optimistic and skeptical about artificial intelligence and its capabilities.
The document discusses key topics related to intelligence, automation, and artificial intelligence. It defines important terms like automation, artificial intelligence, neural networks, and machine learning. It also explores different levels of autonomy in systems from dependent to semi-autonomous to general intelligence. The document references theories from thinkers like Daniel Dennett and provides video links on topics such as quantum computing, neural networks, and debates around AI.
Google Deepmind is currently the leading company in artificial intelligence technology due to the sophistication of its systems. While Deepmind has achieved success with automation and heuristics, its interface is still being defined as AI technology is rapidly advancing. The document concludes that while Deepmind is the best existing AI, its interface is not necessarily weaker than other systems, contrary to the initial hypothesis.
The document discusses factors that influence the success of the WordPress platform. It analyzes the interface, algorithms, hardware, and automation. It concludes that the most influential factors are the interface and algorithms. The interface provides easy navigation and customization for users. WordPress algorithms are unique and correspond to its functions, making it the largest content management platform. The least influential factor is the hardware, as WordPress can run on simple computers, and automation is not imperative since the platform does not require intuition or self-evolution.
Snapchat's CEO Evan Spiegel follows an ambitious strategy focused on independence, branching out more than originally thought. However, the company's innovations are not taking off and larger competitors like Instagram are surpassing Snapchat. Snapchat started as a messaging app but is now shifting focus to creators, though many users reject this new update and business model. Spiegel has turned down acquisition offers of $3 billion from Facebook in 2013 and $30 billion from Google in 2017 in order to maintain the company's independence.
IBM Watson is an artificial intelligence software that utilizes various algorithms and techniques to process unstructured data through natural language understanding. Watson can be applied across different domains like healthcare, education, commerce, and more. A newer software called FAIR was developed by Facebook and uses techniques like facial recognition that can identify human faces with 98% accuracy in under 5 seconds. Both Watson and FAIR represent innovations in AI, but Watson is more mature while FAIR is emerging.
This document discusses different strategic approaches and schools of thought. It contrasts deliberate strategies that involve extensive planning versus emergent strategies that emphasize adapting to changes. It provides examples of companies like Sony that committed to an inflexible strategy with their Beta format and Microsoft that hedged their bets by developing Windows alongside DOS. The document also discusses balancing deliberate and emergent strategies depending on the type of innovation and risk involved.
The document discusses the uncanny valley phenomenon and its implications for automation and artificial intelligence. The uncanny valley refers to the idea that humanoid machines that are close to, but not perfectly human-like, can cause unease in humans. The document also mentions that automation applied to efficient operations will increase efficiency, while automation applied to inefficient operations will magnify inefficiency, as stated by Bill Gates. Finally, the document lists several key ideas related to interfaces, including diffusion of innovation, social referencing, diversity, conformity, exploration, and efficiency.
This document discusses the history and evolution of computers from their origins to modern times. It defines computers as programmable machines that can perform tasks according to prerecorded instructions. The document outlines the major hardware components of computers and how they have changed over time, from early mainframes to the development of personal computers driven by software innovations. It also discusses the concept of disruptive innovation and how new technologies can displace existing ones by entering at the low end of the market and eventually achieving higher performance.
The document discusses concepts related to programming, machine learning, and the development of software and computers. It provides definitions of terms like program, learning, and machine learning. It also contrasts analog and digital data as well as qualitative and quantitative information. The document discusses the evolution from analog to digital and provides examples of how analog information is translated into binary code. It examines different organizational cultures that contributed to the development of personal computers like IBM, Homebrew Computer Club, and Xerox PARC. It also analyzes leadership styles and personalities based on a framework of artist, craftsman, and technocrat.
The document discusses concepts related to knowledge, tools, technology, algorithms, and decision making. It provides definitions for these terms and contrasts the focus of knowledge (human-centered and intuitive) versus data/decisions (machine-focused and efficient). Roger Martin's knowledge funnel is described as a process moving from exploration to established solutions. The distinction is made between choices, which rely on human values, and decisions, which focus on outcomes and performance.
The document discusses a case study of Martin Guitars and applying various frameworks to their design and production processes.

1) The document provides guidelines for a group project applying concepts from an SID 2105 Computer Applications course. It outlines 6 steps for the analysis: developing a hypothesis, picking one factor to analyze, collecting data from 3 sources, applying 2 analytical frameworks, revising the original hypothesis, and stating a conclusion.
2) Students are instructed to focus their analysis on a specific company, product, or service. They should divide tasks among group members and consider how to allocate marks for individual effort.
3) The document describes each step in more detail, including developing an initial rating for factors, identifying a positive or negative factor to examine, qualitative and quantitative data sources, and frameworks covered in lectures that could be applied.
